New energy bill details tax breaks and credits
The measure would raise transit and parking tax exemptions for workers and offer deductions up to 2000 for clean fuel vehicles, 1200 for dual fuel cars, and 5000 for small trucks. It also expands credits for electric vehicles, home energy rebates tax free, wind and biomass credits, and extends solar tax credits. It phases out deductions for country club dues to fund these incentives and seeks to curb oil and gas tax exposure while debating offshore drilling limits.
